Shocked Straight Lyrics - Billy Squier

And so the knife comes down... another curtain falls 

And no one hears the sound... and no one takes the call 

From me and my anxiety... locked up in these four walls 

I come to you now I'm alone... with my defenses down 

I tell you everything I need... I get down on the ground 

I always know that when I go... that I'll be back again 

Shocked straight--doctor can you get my medicine 

Shocked straight--doctor can't you see the shape I'm in 

Shocked straight--doctor when you gonna let me in 

If I could listen to my mind... and keep the world outside my door... 

But time has opened up my eyes and shown me somethin' more 

Now all I want is to be free... and get up off the floor

Why can't you look into my heart... 

Why can't you ever let me know 

You're always takin' me apart... you're never lettin' go 

There's always somethin' on your mind... 

This ain't reality 

Shocked straight--doctor can you get my medicine 

Shocked straight--doctor can't you see the shape I'm in 

Shocked straight--doctor when you gonna let me in 

Why you be so hard 

Why you be so hard 

Why you be so hard 

I know it's gonna take some time... for me to straighten out my head 

To say what's on my mind... to hear those words I said 

And while I'm tryin' to learn to feel... 

You keep on tellin' me...
